Abstract
Pinus massoniana Lamb. was used as the raw cellulose fiber material to investigate effects of ultrasonic wave pretreatment and PFI pretreatment on fiber bonding and absorbability. Influences of ultrasonic wave pretreatment on fiber crystalline structure and hydrogen bonds were also analyzed by wide-angle X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The absorption and internal bond strength of fiber pretreated by ultrasonic waves increased by 23.49% and 4.07%, respectively, in comparison with those of virgin fiber, which would result in the improvement of weak bonding and absorbability. Instead, when fiber was pretreated by PFI, absorption decreased in comparison with virgin fiber and internal bond strength increased as much as 1.33 times than that of virgin fiber. The analysis of wide-angle X-ray diffraction curves and FTIR spectroscopy curves revealed that the crystallinity of fiber decreased by 20.59% in comparison with that of virgin fiber when treated by ultrasonic waves. Moreover, the effect of ultrasonic wave pretreatment on intramolecular hydrogen bonds was rather stronger than that of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore, the optimal swelling ability of fiber would be obtained.
